LOS ANGELES, Jan. 27 (UPI) -- Bryan Singer's upcoming X-Men installment, Days of Future Past, will unite the casts of the original film trilogy with the younger versions featured in 2011's X-Men: First Class along two timelines. That's a lot of characters for one film.
To give movie fans a handle on Future Past's mega-cast, Empire Magazine is slowly releasing 25 covers featuring old and new X-Men stars in character. Though there's plenty of familiar faces, from Anna Paquin's Rogue to Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique, there's also a first look at the franchise's evil Sentinel bots, Evan Peters' take on Quicksilver and Peter Dinklage's Bolivar Trask.
First up, here's a look at the #Sentinel Mark I, circa 1973. #XMen #Empire25 @EmpireMagazine pic.twitter.com/gNcwwc68FX
